The STAR method is used in interview responses to answer behavioral and situational questions. Behavioral and situational questions are about your conduct in your former workplace. By asking you behavioral and situational questions, recruiters search to learn how you handled a difficult work situation. They believe that it is possible to predict applicants’ future behavior on the basis of their conduct in the past. Behavioral and situational questions also allow interviewers to see whether applicants have skills and experiences required for the job. Use the STAR method, when you are asked such questions as “What would you do if a member of your team lacks knowledge and skills to complete his or her task?” or “Tell me about a time when members of your team were not on speaking terms with each other?”

You should choose your references wisely. One negative reference may undo the hard work you have done on your pre-employment tests and interviews. Be careful, therefore, to put only those people on your list of references who will speak highly of you. Also remember that personal references are preferred less by employers than professional references. They believe that the opinion of friends and relatives are always biased and trust more references given by an applicant’s professional associations such as co-workers or teammates. Managers and supervisors are also a good choice of references, though in some companies they may be forbidden to speak about their former employees.
